I have extensive experience writing general, direct response and interactive advertising for a wide range of clients, from beer to software, ice cream to consumer electronics.
My general career encompasses a huge variety of accounts and award-winning work in every medium from TV to outdoor. In direct response, I have been both a creative director and copywriter, writing award-winning direct mail, TV, print and more.
My interactive experience includes writing websites, email campaigns, rich banners and more for Tweeter, General Motors, General Motors credit cards and many high-tech companies. Recent websites are idealaunch.com, artisantalent.com and nannies4hire.com.
